As far as I understood, when he raised the price of the AIDS medicine, he didn't do it to the general population, but rather to the medical companies.
Let's go a bit back. The Medical Company that made mustard gas for Hitler in WW2, is now the richest medical company in the world. Hugo Boss made the Nazi uniforms, Volkswagen made their tanks etc..
So, considering the Medical Corporations are a bunch of murdering cunts, it doesn't seem like Shkreli did anything wrong.
What else did he do?
As far as I get this... him buying Cred Forums and all... during the time when the internet is being sold to a private company...I think he's fighting for free speech.
Give me more red pills
Jordan Collins
And I know he's a dirty Albo, but each shit country has some good individuals
Serbia had Tesla America had... uhm... Bill Hicks? Russia had Trotsky Maybe Albania can have Shkreli?

Jayden Watson
he saw a market and took advantage of it. good on him.
as far as him buying Cred Forums, as long as he doesn't overmoderate, i have no issue with it. it just makes Cred Forums the bad guy because the news will say look at their leader.
Parker Davis
He's actually a good person. He bought a 70 year old drug (Daraprim) used to treat a rare infection called Toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis affects aprox 2000 people a year therefore it wasn't a 'profitable' prospect to create a better drug to treat the condition. Daraprim is a horrible drug that can cause as much harm as good, but it's the only option to those with toxoplasmosis. Shkreli bought the drug in order to raise the price to create revenue to do research to create a better treatment for those with toxoplasmosis. Daraprim is not used to treat HIV and Shkreli can only sell it in the USA. The only ones paying full price for the medicine are hospitals, large corporations and insurance companies. Also over 70% of the medication distributed is either free or $1 a pill. Go watch some of his videos where people try to attack him on the subject. He explains it pretty well.
Jonathan Hill
Yes, he is ripping off insurance companies, people without insurance get the drug for free now.
AIDS patients are better off since he did this, the media is just being manipulated by the insurance company lobby. Martin isn't the bad guy but he loves to roleplay as Comicbook super-villian, that's why they can't hurt him.
Also, he is investing alot in comercially uninteresting drugs for illnesses that big pharma companies don't care about - things that only a few patients worldwide are affected of. Because it doesn't generate money those companies don't care and just let the patients die, pretending they did all they could.
He's a good guy acting like a villian, he is basically the personification of Cred Forums.

Blake Gutierrez
Not to mention every pharmaceutical company is raising prices on even the cheapest to manufacture generic decades old formula. He was targeted by the media because he's "fucking a white male"
Adam Wilson
What a fucking retard.
Nathan Lee
what is this picture? is he actually contemplating acquiring Cred Forums? pls yes
Jaxon Garcia
This. No one really understands how much drug research actually costs.
Ryder Allen
Are you fucking stupid? Smiljan is in Serbia, which at the time was ruled by the Austrians. Serbs are fucking filth but dont try to let them hide you faggot.
Blake Martinez
This exactly. Great story for redpilling normies on the ways the media operates.
Xavier White
Why won't the liberals attack the fucking jew senator's jew daughter who owns the Epipen because LOL I DUNNO SHE JUST DUZ and has consistently, repeatedly jacked the price of Epipens the fuck up?
Oh, and apparently schools and the military are mandated to stock Epipen--generic alternative won't do--so the corrupt fucking sleazebag has a hostage market for Epipen?
Maybe it's because they're undoubtedly corrupt establishment (D)emocrats, and as we all know ((Democrats)) dindu nuffins wrong it's all Drumpf's fault.
Elijah Lopez
Yes baconstrip, he will be our new overlord.
Connor Nguyen
Ugh
The amount of shilling from newfag leddit jerk offs is ridiculous.
He's an attention whore. He's not buying Cred Forums and even if he did, he won't change the culture as is.
So get over it you stupid twats

Jayden King
He's a newfag acting like he understands Cred Forums. He streamed himself browsing Cred Forums (in page view) yesterday. When he saw a picture of a dick he got really shocked and said "wow there's a lot of inappropriate material here."
Cameron Garcia
Your post is slightly retarded, so let's set thing's straight.
>Raising the price did not hurt "medical companies" (or big pharma, as I think that's what you mean). It hurt health insurance companies and Obamacare. >Guy is a huge asshole but he's loaded and on the issue of trolling and free speech seems to be on our side, and that's good enough for me.
Connor Martinez
> he'll ban all the faggots and degenerates jesus christ, do you mean he could make Cred Forums great again?
Angel King
Well to be fair, other medical companies are mad at him aswell for not joining into their lobbying circlejerk first before raising the price.
Brody Stewart

Mason Gutierrez
> it hurts health insurance Thats utterly bullshit, as he has already explained. The american healthcare system is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, this small drug he raised prices for has 0 impact on insurance companies.
William Rogers
He tried to outjew the jew. They dont like competition and sent a PR hailstoirm his way. That fucked up his image. The fact that he's a little autistic didnt help him recover.
Xavier Powell
I like shekels
Liam White
Plus shkreli gave free lessons on the principles of investing. He also went on a black radio show and talked shit about ghost face killa. He's a trip
Oliver Kelly
I wouldn't trust this guy.
Colton Evans
But what you'd post the weird user on Cred Forums who routinely posts photos of black cocks?
Ethan Sanders
He is fucking with us, he trolls everyone, everywhere 24/7.
>That fucked up his image. The fact that he's a little autistic didnt help him recover.
It made him famous, he's having a blast because he loves the super-villian image. He is an extremely intelligent billionaire with the nihilist mentality of Cred Forums. He's our guy.
Caleb Rogers
That or just make sure it stays contained to the porn boards

Croats immediately triggered
I never got this meme. Who cares whether Tesla was Croatian or Serbian? Do you think having some important dude be the same nationality as you somehow makes you better than the other guys? Most Serbs/Croats have mixed blood anyways so I really don't understand all the fighting over Tesla's nationality.
Thomas Watson
RIP japmoot, 2015-2016 He Never Actively Fucked Us Over
Isaiah Lewis
>Croatia had Tesla Fixed that for you. He was an Orthodox Croatian.
And Albania already had Ancient Greece (which has literally nothing to do with Modern """Greece""")
Aiden Scott
>really don't understand all the fighting over Tesla's nationality.
Nobody's really fighting. He was a Serb but croats like to live in bizzaro world
Juan Rivera
like any user would do, he was hiding his power level
Alexander Hughes
How about a dual administration?
Shkreli as the troll admin who fucks everyone over. And Hiroshimoot as the moe admin
He just needs to post here and try to fix stuff. Then we'd had one of the biggest trolls with one of the most moe admins. Sounds fitting
Jayden Wright
WOW THAT'S RARE
Bentley Green
The reason that Cred Forums even exists, despite all the shit that's been associated with it, is because ultimately it's been a hobby for moot and hiro.
Cred Forums, at least in the way we know it, can never exist as a profit driven platform. It never has been for it's existence, if anything it's put moot in some difficult positions and he stuck with it despite the personal and financial burden.
If we have a person who barely understands Cred Forums culture and has such a vile attitude because of his enormous success that won't even understand a concept such as lurking moar take over the site, I don't believe it work out in the end for this platform that we congregate on.
Now I could be wrong and he could just be a massive troll and has been browsing for years, in which case that's a bit better. I'm sure a lot of people have some ideas about this site and have been browsing for a while, but those ideas likely would be detrimental to the welfare of Cred Forums.
Hiro is a pretty humble dude and has at least stated he didn't buy Cred Forums to make money.

Shrkeli wafts the zeitgeist that embodies Cred Forums. i'd say he totally "gets" it. him running this place would be perfect.
Luke Gray
>Rich guy buys Cred Forums >Seems to play the bad guy, but always comes out as being good, so far >Can use Cred Forums to study people We be experiments and shieeet. He could possibly leave the site as is with Hiro running management, keeping the financial flow going while studying people who have no fucks to give about censorship, unfiltered ideas and shit. If in was developing medicine, I'd want groups to study without compromising the study. Cheaper then hiring tons of groups and explaining what there doing, he can just shitpost things to find what he needs
Carter Bell
The uneducated on Cred Forums hate Albanians because of the majority Muslim thing, even though it is like 56% or so and they don't really practice it.
The educated on Cred Forums hate Albanians because of the being fucking criminals aspect and that there are more diaspora than native citizens.
The very small minority of Cred Forums that consists of Albania's neighboring countries (Macedonia, Serb, Greeks) hate Albanians just because they exist. Which, to be frank, is a hatred that is very common in the Balkans. But I have found these users and their diaspora are by far the most butthurt about Albanians. They will derail an entire thread if there is even a slight mention of Albanian. Serbs especially.

I disagree on the premise of anonymity. He has such a huge fucking ego. It's difficult to imagine somebody like that humbly managing this site and staying off the radar by virtue of not being an attention whore.
